OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TO BE SETTLED AT BIRMINGHAM
TODAY

! Savannah in Favor of Dissolution
President Morrow Wants a Four
Club League-The Magic City Anx-
ious to Come In-Judge Ridley's De-
cision on the Constitutionality of the
Sunday Base Ball Law in Tennessee.
The base ball situation yesterday was in
statu quo The home club won another
game from Mobile by default. The team
went out to tie grounds in uniform, Nc
Arthur pitched nine balls over the plate and
Umpire Atkinson declared the score 9 to 0
in Savannah's favor 1t was expected that
Mobile would be here, and the game was
advertised Money was sent from New
Orleans to Manager Kelley at Memphis to
bring the team to Savannah, but Kelley
had already left Memphis. toby" Hart
then telegraphed Manager Sneed to furnish
tickets at his expense to Mobile and send the
team on. Sneed replied that some of the
players had signed with other clubs, and
therefore it was impossible TO comply, sew
eral having already left Memphis.
The Birmingham meeting to-day will de
eide the fate of the Southern League. The
Savannah management is in favor of dis
solution. There is seemingly no possibility,
since Mobile has gone out, necessitating
either the withdrawal Of one of the
five remaining clubs or the filling
of the vacancy, of the league being
able pb;aot to e. through the di season
view of the situation. He says that even if
Mobile and Savannah both draw out he
sees no reason why four-club league, COM
posed of Charleston, New Orleans, Memphis
and Nashville, should not successfully pull
through, and even do better in
financial point of view than the present
league of six clubs.
Birmingham and Atlanta have been clam
oring for a chance to come in, but now that
the opportunity presents itself neither is
| ready to come to the scratch although Birm-
ingham is trying to raise money to get a
team. Unless Mobiles place is filed, and
| there is seemingly very little prospect that
it will be, the league will be left with four
clubs widely separated, and requiring twice
| the amount of the guarantee to pay the
travelling expenses from one point to an
other
Under these circumstances, and with the
not over-generous support that even the lead
ing clubs have received, the outlook, at best,
is not at all encouraging for a continuance of
the league on anything like a paying basis
The Savannah team is doing nothing except
to draw its pay. This state of affairs can
not last long What will be done at the
Birmingham meeting remains to be seen.
President Haas reached there last night and
will urge the dissolution of the league. What
position the other clubs will take is not
| known, although it is understood that
Charleston wants to hold together and play
the schedule out with four clubs

SUNDAY BASE BALL.

Judge Ridley's Decision on the Con-
stitutionality of the Tennessee Law.
NASHVILLE, May 19.-When the Criminal
Court met at 9 o'clock this morning Judge
Ridley announced his readiness to pass upon
the motion to quash tho presentment against
Jack" Hayes, charged with violating the
Sunday base ball law. The attorneys for
the State and defendant were present, be-
sides a large number of interested parties
The ground of the motion to quash the in
dictment was an alleged lrregularity in the
passage of the bill Judge Ridley said: 81
think the highest evidence that a bill has
been regularly passed by the Legislature is the
signature of the respective presiding officers
in open session, and the fact of such signing
noted on the journals When these things
concur and Is approved by the Governor,
we ought to assume the accuracy
and verify of the journals rather than de.
clare a statute unconstitutional because
other formalitles seem not to have been OBJ
served in its enactment. If this occurs it is
not necessary to notice further the objec-
tionS that the bill was passed only twice in
the House. We will presume that it was
regularly done. l have doubts about the
correctness of my conclusions, but
it is well established rule
of construction that an inferior
court, at leaSt, Ought to give a statute the
benefit of Il reasonable doubt and maintain
its validity rather than declare it unconsti-
tutional; therefore override the motion to
quash the Indictment" The case was not
for set trial the Attorney General thinking
that there would be sufficient time lift went
regularly to the heel of the docket

Seeking An Outlet at Savannah.

There is no doubt about it, says the
Augusta Chronicle, the Augusta and Chat
taaooga railroad will be constructed. The
line indicated by the preliminary survey
runs to Chattanooga almost as a crow flies.
The route now so clearly outlined in the
minds of its projectors vii soon take form
and be recognized as natures own. Our
people are in earnest about the road; they
are convinced that more prac-
ticable project was never suggested
they have shown their faith by lib
orally subscribing to the enterprise.
To Augusta the building of the Augusta and
Chattanooga railroad is a question of the
highest Importance. With this new iron
highway to the West in operation and the
steamboats, on the Savannah, Augusta will
be in the position to which she is entitled
one Of greater commercial prominence than
she now enjoys. Nor is this road less essen
tial to the commercial and general we'll
being of Chattanooga or the country through
which it viii run.

THE LUMBERMEN ANXIOUS.
Longshoremen Begin Their Fight for
Higher Wages.

The statement from the Lumbermen's
that after May % the laborers would
demand 25c. and 30c. an hour, an increase
of l0c., viii probably cause some trouble
along the wharves, as the men evidently
intend to stand out for the increase in
wages and in all probability they will make
determined effort to force the stevedoreS
to grant it. Capt. Charles ramsey was
| asked last night what he looked for
| in connection with the demand
Il have received no notice of it he re-
piled, ''the demand was made on the other
side of the river to-day. James McAlpin
hired gang to load Norwegian bark, ard
he was notified by the men that they would
not work for less than 20c. and 30c., and he
paid them what they askedn
DO you think that they will induce the
steyedores to advance the wagesm
YES, think they win get what they ask
1t is certain that they will have their wages
| advanced next winter when the cotton sea-
son begins, and | don't think they will have
any trouble in getting the high rate out of
| foreign vessels very much doubt, though,
whether the American ships will allow it
without fight, at least during the summer
season.
WHO would win the fght?"
ooh the laborers Those fellows are
happy and cOntented even if they have
nothing TO eat. They would undoubtedly
| stop work and sink or swim. They would
refuse to do anything unless they get what
| they want"
what do they make per week now on an
averager
The year round it will run IS to Sc So"
Gould the stevedores pay the wages
asked for and have any profit left"
No, they could not We used to get 81
L 81 = r L
| then we paid the same wages that we do
now, when we only get Soc per 1000 Just
| figure this out. We work eight men on the
inside and six on the outside, making four
| teen altogether. Twelve of them will re-
ceive 15c. per hour or 81 80 per day, and
two will get 81 per day, making a total of
S26 They will load about 60,000 feet, for
which we viii receive $50, SO you see we
make but 81. Now if you figure twelve
men at 50 and two at So, which
would be the price if the new rates should
| be adopted the wages would be $50, and we
would lose So Some of us were talking
| about it to-day, and we concluded that we
| would have TO charge the vessels 75c. per
1000 to meet the advance, and there is the
rough part Of it. The laborers win simply
| say that they want more wages and will
quit work unless they get them, and of
course we will not load at loss, so we will
have to make the demand on the vessels,
and those fellows will just transfer their
fight to our shoulders and they will stand
by and see us have it out with the captains. "
"Do you think that any trouble will re-
sultT'
mot with foreign vessels, as l said be-
fore, but it is possible that it may interfere
with shipping coastwise.n
The stevedores do not understand why the
men made the demand across the river yes
terday, when they had published a notice
that it would not be made until May p, but
they are not worrying themselves about it,
They are simply waiting until the men
start the music.

BAD THEATRICAL SEASON.
Effect of the Interstate Commerce
Law on the Theatre Business.

Effect of the Interstate Commerce
Law on the Theatre Business.
"Jake" Tannenbaum, manager of the
Mobile and Montgomery theatres and
''booker" for the Southern theatrical circuit,
is on his way North to look out for new
attractions for next season. Mr.. Tannen-
baum is one of the best posted men in the
South on theatrical affairs. He says that
the interstate commerce bill has ruined the
business in the South by running attractions
off the road. The cheap shams will come
and play week; the good ones can't
afford the extra expense of making
the long jumps between the one night stands
and hence they are not coming He says,
too, that so far as the coming season is con-
cerned the damage is done. By this time
the good attractions have their seasons
work mapped out, and they have given the
usual Southern route the go-by. Of course,
some may come. What the final adjust
ment by Congress will be as to theatrical
companies, he cannot foresee, but whatever
it is it will be too late for next season.
Savannah is one of the principal cities in
the Southern circuit and Manager Tannen
baums prediction for poor season will
not be pleasing news to the large class of
theatre -goeIs here.

quired for inferior goods. Such an article
is our New Record Range. 1t is the most
convenient contrivance, taken all around,
that could be desired at the figure asked.

a greater economizing stove than this one

FIFTEENTH AMENDMENT DAY.
The First Georgia Battalion's Parade
and Review.


The First Battalion, Georgia Volunteers
tcolored), paraded yesterday in honor OF the
anniversary of the fifteenth amendment TO
the constitution. The field and staff officers
of the battalion are: John H. Deveaux,
Lieutenant Colonel Commanding; A. X.
Desverney Adiutant: A. Bowen Quarter
master, and T. r. Sanders, PaymaSter. The
following companies were in hne:
Union Lincoln Guards, Lieut.. j. ii. HAM
mond commanding.
Lone Star Cadets. Capt. 7. A. ID, Lloyd.
Chatham Light Infantry, Capt. julius
Maxwell
Forest City Light Infantry, Lieut., Will
hams commanding.
Savannah Light Infantry, Capt. W. II.
Royal
Georgia Light Infantry, Capt. w. H.
Stiles.
Savannah Hussars. Capt. W. H. Bell.
The line was formed on South Broad
street and at II % o'clock the march was
begun. After parading through the princi-
pal streets the battalion marched to the Park
extension and as the Georgia Artillery had
not arrived, the brigade formation was
made and the men were given short rest.
The artillery arrived shortly after and
begun firing the salute. The accident IN
which Artilleryman Fuller was killed soon
occurred, and the dress parade and drill
were omitted.
The Colonel commanding briefly adj
dressed the commands, urging them to APP
point detachment to pay the last tribute
to their deceased brother soldier. Lieut.,
Col. Deveaux spoke in high terms of Fuller
as an energetic member of his company and
a good soldier
The companies turned out a fair average
in the parade, some 300 muskets being in
line. Their marching and wheeling was
very good and the step kept by some of the
commands was excellent. Altogether the
battalion made very creditable appear
